To use the Custom Search API, you're going to need to first set up a Custom Search Engine. Then you'll need to register your project with the APIs Console at http://code.google.com/apis/console . Then you'll need to use the console to activate the Custom Search API and obtain an API key. Finally, you can use the documentation ( https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/using_rest ) to familiarize yourself with and utilize the API.
You will notice in the documentation that, among the API-specific query parameters, there is a fileType argument that you can use to specify pdf. Jeremy R.
